Design Integrity, Inc. in Chicago collaborated with ASB on the design, development and launch of the ActiClean system. ActiClean is the toilet that cleans itself, combining the power of the revolutionary VorMax flushing technology — which delivers the cleanest flush ever engineered — with a fully integrated self-cleaning system.

ActiClean eliminates the need for aftermarket add-on cleaning solutions that are unsightly and ineffective. It is a high efficiency toilet that uses 1.28 gallons of water per flush, which meets strict WaterSense certification requirements. The user simply presses a button, walks away, and lets the toilet do the rest. To see more detail on the ActiClean development project, click here: Design integrity acticlean page
